Membership Levels

I would like to spice up the LumberJocks membership by adding the Membership Levels based on the number of postings. The achieved level would be always displayed near the buddy icon to highlight the status of each jock. Here is something like my initial idea (the numbers are the number of postings by the jock):

0-10 – Newbie

11-100 – Addict

101 – 1000 – Enthusiast

1001 – 5000 – Wizard

5001 and more – Guru

Any ideas on this? Maybe we can come up with different, woodworking themed titles.. or maybe you can suggest different numbers. Let’s hear the ideas ;)

Hi Marten;—-just wondering aloud here?! If my calculations are correct and on course, then I’m wondering what happens after achieving guru status?

Ha! Yes, according to my numbers, Don since signing on Dec. 18, 2006 has already hit at 388, Wow!!! Now if he keeps going at this rate with just a few extra postings thrown in for good measure….., and no-more computer crashes, then 388×12 = 4656, plus those extra’s for good measure, then we will have a guru by or before 2008. So again I’m wondering, what comes after Guru, maybe TOP DOG AT THE WOODPILE OF TIMBERJOCKS.....of course Dick is on his way also, so maybe we need, TOP DOGS AT THE WOODPILE OF LUMBERJOCKS....

Well, again what can I say, just thinking aloud….happens when you work all day alone in the woods.GODSPEED,Frank

0-50 Newbie51-100 Enthusiast101-500 Needs to spend more time in shop501-1000 Needs to spend alot more time in shop1001-5000 Needs to get a life5001+ Just plain hopeless might as well give the guy a tee shirt and set him in the corner

I only said the free t-shirt because i’m 200 away. At 1001 you give them a stick and call it a wand. Anyone who spends that much time talkin doesnt spend enough time in the shop to know what a wand looks like, and a walkin stick? I got one i found on the beach, how hard is that to find?

oh the competition!!I kinda like Don’s idea but then I like the originals as well. I guess I’d rather be a Newbie than a Shop Sweep lol. Oh wait – that’s what I have been doing for the past year: Rick cuts and Debbie sweeps!!

Hey, I know I’m New here but what about the size of the project? I can post large kitchen, office, ect. Do those count a single entry? Or post a Cabinet at time. Ha Ha. I could post a hole lot real fast but it would not be fair to hog whole site. But some of my picture qualities aren’t so good of items before I got digital camera.

Marty.. right now one post is just one post.. I think that we’re not able to measure the size of the projects objectively. But maybe we will measure activity by the number of posted words or something similar in the future.

I like the Titles on the picture Martin, I still think Shop Jockey has a certain ring to it, and hopefully inspires them to:1) Talk more and getting them “Posts” 2) Submit more projectsThis is like the B.S. sessions around the real shop like … “I once caught a fish soooo big”, which leads me to this … Work I’ve done is in the Silver Legacy Casino in Reno, Nevada. It was the Center Piece when the Casino first opened. I was working for my (ex) brother-in-law who did retro-fits for the Casinos, which is where i got my introduction to cabinets. After I built the cabinets (which are double wide slot machine stands with a Copper laminate with a patina) my (ex) brother-in-law and his pardner took them down and installed them. I did the work they got the glory.

I don’t know Martin. I think you should be counting the number of words posted, not the number of postings. I keep seeing myself falling behind, and there isn’t enough I can do to catch up. Seriously, I’m Glad that others are excited and active!
